“Winter Island” (** out of four) was an obtuse psychological drama about a young girl who is found dead on a small island; her teenage brother (Elijah Carnazzo) then starts to have postmortem visions that make him realize that her death was connected to a sinister and evil presence within their own family. Moody but muted story never really comes alive although it remains watchable and holds you at times in its eerie grip. This won some horror festival awards at Bleedingham and Crypticon over the past year.
